Pipe: (Red Doors of New Orleans Mystery #1)

A couple's first house. Whispers dripping from the rusty showerhead. Can this relationship be saved?

Mack and Chase dreamed of owning a house together. They've finally done it: a four-room fixer-upper in New Orleans' historic Tremé neighborhood. The neglected address lies on a popular parade route. An enormous live oak shades the front stoop. Tangled strands of Mardi Gras beads swing from the oak's mossy branches. The property looks both festive and haunted.

Mack and Chase are blue-collar gays. Mack's a plumber. Chase, an electrician. If they work together, they can turn this tiny house into their forever home. But the work is overwhelming. Their alpha personalities lock horns. Their sex life screeches to an unceremonious halt. Suddenly Chase prefers reading romance mysteries to making love. And why the hell is he getting so friendly with the nosy neighbors?

Mack hasn't had a good night's sleep since they moved into this money pit. His heart aches. His muscles ache. His balls ache. Not only is Mack sex-starved and exhausted, but now he swears he can hear a disembodied voice leaking from the showerhead.

What if what it says is true?

Mack would risk everything to win back Chase's affections. The house was Mack's plan to mend their relationship. Unfortunately, it seems the house has a plan of its own.

Mack suspects something very bad happened here ...or it's about to.
